Red light is always on

Im having problem with my printer (epson c43sx) the red light is always on
and it indicates out of paper/ink even theres a paper in the
feeder and ink in the cartridge...can anyone can figure out whats seems to be the problem?
thanks in advance

If you are sure that the ink cartridge is ok, it means that the WASTE PAD is full. Epson C43 have a pad in the back side (internally) that receive the ink wasted when the printer cleans the print head (when you are printing the printer does it automatically). If that pad is full (the printer counts how many sheets do you have printed in all life of the device - the maximum value is about 8300). In this case you have to replace that PAD. May be neede a technician to do this.

The error light on the C43sx is quite "non-descriptive". It simply means there is an error - that error depends upon the flashing/timing of the light.

I suggest you get hold of the Epson service software to get a better idea of the problem. It is quite possible the machine has simply hit the ink overflow protection counter limit, which is easy to fix with the above software. It is also possible the machine has a fatal error in which case the trash bin beckons.

Did you mean paper jam?. If you have used printer for long time, or many pages printed, the paper feeder mecahnic deteoration, especially two rubber in paper feeder. You can replace paper feeder. Or you can repair the rubber by adding tape below rubber to to add thickness of rubber. I have tried and success. Good luck 4 u.

t is possible that the ink cartridges in your printer (especially
applicable if you are using refilled or compatible carts) can not be
read by the printer. Some compatible cartridges have a failure rate as
high as 30% and so it is very possible that the machine either does not
see the cartridges or can not read them.

Replace the cartridges
with genuine Epson ones and try again. The genuine ink will also help
to clear any hardening cheap ink in the print head.

If your PC is connecting to it normally (no connection errors), it sounds like you printer is having the service reset hardware problem. Try installing the EPSON reset software and check all counters and error codes.
